Charges Opportunism "We told that there is a new theory of government abroad. It is the theory that the executives are quarterbacks on a football field who do not know a minute in advance what signal they will call next. They determine the plays on the basis of Of courses, this is just another name for opportunism.

There is nothing new in it. It never pulled a great modern industrial nation of a depression. "What the need today is what the Bible centuries ago described as 'the shadow of a great rock in a weary That was what Grover Cleveland represented to the people in his day a symbol of strength and firmness, of coolness, or rocklike integrity in the midst of shifting sands, heat and desolation.

I am for experience as against experiment. If I must choose between private tea management of business. and management by a government bureaucracy, I am for private management. "I am ready to go through a certain amount of deflation if the choice is between this and outright inflation. If I must choose betwen the leaders of the past, with all the errors they have made and with all the selfishness they have been guilty of, and the inexperienced young college professors who hold no responsible public office but are perfectly ready to turn 000,000 Americans into guinea pigs for experimentation, I am going to be for the people who have made the country what it "And I say this with full knowledge of the fact that there are many things in the old order of society which I should like to have changed and which I do not applaud or even condone.

'Tis not the first time I have taken the unpopular side of a great national question. Put me down, therefore, as a sound money man."

Vidal- of aeronautics of the department of commerce today disclosed $10,000,000 has been set aside from the civil works fund to construct landing fields in 2,000 cities and towns. More than $8,000,00 of the money allotted, he said, would go for wages to an estimated 50,000 men. Even the smallest villages are eligible, and he urged that towns lacking a field or inadequately supplied submit early applications. Recently the aeronautics branch of the department sent out questionaries to determine how many planes would be purchased for private flying if the price was brought below $700. Early returns indicate thousands would buy.

"If the final results of the survey are favorable," said Vidal, "and the industry begins to produce airplanes to sell at a low price, the need for airports and landing fields will become- enormously greater. "The landing field program is a further step by the new administration to stimulate private flying." Vidal estimated the average cost of conditioning a field would be $5,000 with only about $630 to be expended for material and the remainder for labor. A field should consist of two ing strips up to 3,000 feet long and 300 feet wide. Vidal said that as soon as enough applications are received allotments within the various states will be made proportionately.

NEA Chicago, Nov. 24-(P)-Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop bent her stout will beneath the burden or circumstance today, and confessed she sent a bullet into the heart of her son's wife, Rheta. The 62-year old widow faced her son and daughter and a coroner's jury in the county morgue and quietly identified her signature to a confession. In that document, lighting up details of the grotesque death of the girl, Dr.

Alice Wynekoop asserted she believed Rheta was dead from chloroform administered to relieve pain, when in panicky fear of blame for her asphyxiation the physician seized pistol and fired a bullet to give a semblance of murder by robbers. The coroner's jury recommended she be prosecuted for murder. Earl, the 28-year old son, widowed by his mother's act, was still in custody tonight as the police, professing to be unsatisfied with the explanation given by Dr. Alice, proceeded with the investigation. Son Pleads With Her She made the confession after her son had pleaded with her to tell all she knew.

The son, Earle had offered to make a confession if it would clear his mother, and she had broken down, crying out: 'A mother's sacrifice is no greater than that of such a son, who offers himself to save that mother, even though falsely Dr. Wynekoop later took the stand before a coroner's jury and affirmed her signed confession that she fired a bullet into the senseless form of her daughter-in-law. A few minutes later the coroner's jury returned a verdict stating that Rheta died of a gunshot wound and shock, the bullet having been fired from a gun held in the hand of Dr. Alice Wynekoop. The jury recommended that she be held to the grand jury for murder.

Breaking down at last after nearly three days of exhausting examination, the 62-year old woman physician acknowledged that she had administered chloroform to her son's 23 year old wife, in examining her for a pelvic pain of which the girl had complained. Administers Chloroform She had gone to her surgical office in the basement of her Monroe street house last Tuesday afternoon to find Rheta, partly undressed weighing herself. Rheta complained of severe pains Dr. Wynekoop said, and she placed the young woman on her operating table and began to administer chloroform to ease the pain and facilitate examination. Dr.

Wynekoop told Captain Stege she kept asking Rheta if she could feel the pain and her daughter-inlaw continued to answer affirmatively. Finally, the physician explained, Rheta lost consciousness and for 25 minutes she tried uously to revive her. When she realized she was losing, ground, Dr. Alice said, she- became panic stricken. "All the events of my life flashed through my mind," Dr.
